“The response has been pretty overwhelming with the interest in looking at the photos,” Undersheriff Christopher Kuhl said. “We have gotten some new information on a couple of (people with outstanding, felony warrants).”

This is not the first time the sheriff’s office has utilized a social media platform to obtain information.

“We know we have these wanted people, and we know that some people at some point are going to know where they are,” Kuhl said. “It’s a good way to find some information.”

“It seemed when information is put out to the public, there is a genuine interest,” Kuhl said.

The idea to start posting information to the sheriff’s office Facebook page was Captain Brad Piros' idea, and Kuhl said the department is trying to find the best way to get information to the public.

“One of the biggest things we are doing, is trying to find a way the sheriff’s office can get information to the public and receive information,” Kuhl said. “There are so many platforms. (Community members) like a quick form of receiving information, and we are trying to feel out what is the best way to get the information out to them.”

Kuhl said with the department utilizing its Facebook page to put information out, it is getting information out to the public in a quick matter.

“In this day and age, information and news is in real-time,” Kuhl said. “We would like to communicate with people faster, not slower.”

If people have information regarding information posted to the Facebook page, they can use Facebook or contact the Tip Line at 517-787-0212.
